Casa Di Mirafiore is located in Serralunga d'Alba (Cuneo), in the Piedmont region. The winery was founded at the end of the 1800s by Count Emanuele Alberto of Mirafiore, son of Vittorio Emanuele II and La Bella Rosin.

Since 1878, Casa E. Di Mirafiore has been overlooking this UNESCO world heritage landscape with his estates in Barolo and Serralunga, the heart of one of the world's most famous wines: Barolo. It is also thanks to Casa E. Di Mirafiore that the world is aware of Barolo. It is in fact the first winery to export Barolo worldwide.

This estate is synonymous with quality, as it is home to two of the best Cru vineyards in the Langhe: Lazzarito (on one of Serralunga d'Alba's most magnificent slopes) and Paiagallo.

In this town, Serralunga d'Alba, tradition is never forgotten. Even today, the style of Casa E. Mirafiore is defined by fermentation in concrete tanks and enormous Slavonian oak barrels for ageing. Read more

Wine making	The grapes, harvested in small 20 kg crates, are immediately brought to the winery and poured directly into the presses for a soft and delicate crushing until about 50% yield in free-run must is obtained. This is then channelled into thermo-conditioned tanks, where it rests for 24 hours during which the coarser parts settle to the bottom of the tank and are separated from the clear part by decanting. At this point, the must begins its fermentation in steel tanks, which lasts about 20 days at temperatures between 18 and 20 °C, where it matures on its lees until the following spring.
Aging	In May, the wine is ready for a second fermentation, that in the bottle, followed by a maturation process on the lees that lasts a full 36 months in a cool, dark environment in keeping with the production traditions of Spumante Metodo Classico.
Allergens	Contains sulphites
